❗️❗️❗️NEW LISTING: 97.9+/- Acres – East State Farm Pivot & Creek ❗️❗️❗️

Just minutes from North Platte, this pivot-irrigated farm sits on some of the most productive soil around (Class I & II Cozad and Hord silt loam). A 7-tower T&L pivot keeps the cropland watered, and Fremont Slough winds through the north end, bringing great wildlife habitat, hunting, and a nice stretch of hay meadow along the creek.

Paved road access, close to town, and located in an area where several acreages have already gone in nearby. This one works whether you want to farm it, hunt it, or build your dream homestead on it.

📍 North Platte, NE | $865,000

If you rent farm ground in Nebraska on a handshake, this one is worth a few minutes of your time.

A verbal lease is any farmland rented by word or handshake, with no signed written agreement between you and your tenant. Plenty of good arrangements run this way for years. The catch is how Nebraska law handles the end of one.

Here's how it works. If you want to change or end a verbal farmland lease, you have to give written notice, send it by certified mail, and have it postmarked by September 1. Miss that date and the lease automatically renews for another full year.

That's the part that catches folks. You can't bring in new terms, a new tenant, or an adjusted rate. Whatever the arrangement is right now, it stays locked in until the next cycle, which means no changes until 2028.

Today is August 25. That leaves about a week.

So if you've been meaning to make a change, this is the stretch to handle it. Put it in writing, send it certified mail, and get it postmarked by September 1.

If you're an absentee landowner and you're not sure whether your lease counts as verbal or where you stand, we're glad to walk through it with you. Contact Jordan Maassen at Lashley Land and Recreational Brokers, 308-530-8463.

Good Nebraska farm and ranch ground moves fast. By the time you hear about a listing over coffee, another buyer has often already walked it.

A few things we tell buyers who are serious about finding the right piece:

Set up a saved search on LashleyLand.com. New listings hit your inbox the day they go live, so you're not learning about them a week late.

Talk to your ag lender before you find the property, not after. Knowing your ceiling and having a pre-approval in hand means you can move in days instead of weeks.

Work with an agent who lives in farm and ranch land. Water rights, FSA crop bases, accretion ground, management history — these are the layers a general residential agent isn't going to catch, and they're the ones that can turn a good buy into a problem.

Happy to walk through any of it. Call Jordan Maassen at Lashley Land and Recreational Brokers, or start a saved search at LashleyLand.com.

Here's what we tell families settling an estate:

"We'll do the valuation at no charge. If you ever need a broker, we'd appreciate the opportunity. No obligation either way."

That's it. That's the whole pitch.

A family called us recently to value their mother's land holdings before splitting things up between the kids. We pulled comps, walked the ground, and turned the numbers around quickly. When they asked about the bill, we told them the same thing we tell everyone in that spot.

Honest numbers help families make honest decisions. Whether that's dividing acres between siblings, planning around taxes, or deciding what stays in the family and what goes to market, you need a real value first. Not a listing pitch dressed up as one.

If a sale ever comes out of it down the road, we'd be grateful for the call. If it doesn't, you still got what you needed.

$3,905 per acre. That's the statewide average for Nebraska ag land in the latest UNL Farm Real Estate Market Survey, down 1% year over year while grazing and hay ground actually moved up.

The statewide number is a starting point, not an answer. Your ground gets priced by district, soil class, water status, and crop base, not by an average pulled across 93 counties.

A Class I Duroc loam pivot in Deuel County doesn't trade at the same number as dryland wheat ground in the panhandle or Sandhills grass in Cherry County. The survey breaks it out by district and land type for a reason.

If you're pricing a sale, a purchase, or an estate valuation this summer, the number that matters is the one tied to your specific dirt. Contact Jordan Maassen at Lashley Land and Recreational Brokers for a valuation on your ground.

The 79 Ranch near Brady sat in the Peckham family for over 125 years. When it sold, it didn't go to an out-of-state investor. It went to four separate local families.

That outcome doesn't happen by accident. A 125-year ranch carries weight that a spreadsheet can't price. The seller's definition of a good deal rarely starts and ends with the highest number. Fit, legacy, and who ends up running cattle on that ground next matter just as much as the per-acre.

Three things separate a multi-generation ranch sale from a standard land transaction. Local buyers hold the edge because they already know the fence lines, the water, and the family. Legacy pricing runs on a different math than pure market pricing. And the agent has to earn trust from the seller's side of the table before any buyer ever walks the place.

Jordan Maassen at Lashley Land and Recreational Brokers handled the 79 Ranch sale. If your family is thinking about what comes next for ground that's been in your name for two, three, or four generations, contact Jordan at 308-530-8463 for additional information.
